Florida Regional Task Force Arrests Child Sex Predator

Miami, FL – The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF) May 29 arrested a man suspected of preying on a child for sexual purposes. 

Eduin Quintero Rugama, 43, is charged with capitol sexual battery of a child under the age of 12 and lewd/lascivious molestation of a minor.  It is alleged that on more than 10 occasions, the suspect preyed on the victim and committed heinous acts against Florida law.  

USMS FCRFTF personnel collaborated with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office in locating and arresting Rugama.  When investigators learned Rugama was in the area of NW 6th Court in Miami, they conducted a surveillance operation, observing him entering a vehicle and taking him into custody without incident as he exited the vehicle in the 600 Block of NW 6th Court.  

Rugama was transported and turned over to the Special Victims Bureau to be interviewed and booked on the charges. 

Since 2008, the Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force has focused resources and efforts on the enhancement of public safety and the reduction of violence within the Florida/Caribbean Region, through the identification, investigation, and apprehension of fugitives wanted for egregious crimes against the community, while ensuring the equal application of Justice, Integrity, and Service for all. The FCRFTF has partnership agreements with federal and state and local agencies that operate in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The FCRFTF has apprehended more than 67,000 fugitives since its inception and is always striving to make communities safer.
